Nowt is used in the north of England to mean nothing.

Google is telling me that it's a specifically a pronoun, which is interesting. Opposite of "it/that" = "nowt"?
Thats very wrong. Owt=Anything Nowt= Nothing. "Do you want owt from the shop?". "Nowt mate ta". Is usually how you would hear it.
Ooooh, that makes sense. I didn't know about "owt" either!
